Game Overview

From the creators of UNTIL DAWN and THE QUARRY comes Directive 8020, an all-new cinematic sci-fi horror adventure that expertly blends intense survival gameplay with meaningful choices and a branching storyline. Earth is dying, and humanity’s last hope lies 12 light years away on Tau Ceti f. When the colony ship Cassiopeia crash-lands on this alien world, its crew quickly discovers they are not alone. Hunted by a terrifying organism capable of perfectly mimicking its prey, the crew must rely on their wits, agility, and improvised weapons to outsmart the relentless threat. Featuring Hollywood actor Lashana Lynch as the groundbreaking astronaut ‘Young,’ Directive 8020 delivers immersive storytelling and edge-of-your-seat horror in a desperate mission to save humanity from extinction. Players must navigate the dark, claustrophobic corridors of the ship where trust is shattered and danger hides in plain sight. The alien’s ability to imitate crew members blurs the line between friend and foe, forcing players to make difficult decisions with far-reaching consequences. The innovative Turning Points story tree allows you to rewrite your fate, unlocking hidden paths and multiple endings based on your choices. Up to five players can join the mission in couch-co-op movie night mode, selecting different crew members to work together against alien infiltrators, deadly dilemmas, and catastrophic system failures. Directive 8020 challenges you to survive the ultimate test of loyalty and courage in the depths of space.
